Chicago dentists pick fantasy patients
By DrBicuspid Staff
February 22, 2010 -- The Chicago Dental Society recently surveyed more than 250 members to find out whose mouth -- real, fake, alive, or dead -- they'd most wish to examine. Here are their top 10 picks, with some commentary from the society:
- Dracula -- "Twilight" fever has left our dentists wondering about those pointy teeth. Are they hollow like drinking straws? Can drinking blood cause cavities?
- Elvis Presley -- A visit with the King might finally put to rest those rumors about his death, but dentists are also curious about what cosmetic dental work was like in the 1960s.
- Mona Lisa -- Was a poor smile the reason the subject of the famous painting stayed tight-lipped?
- President Barack Obama -- Bragging rights aside, dentists are generally concerned with our president's oral health -- from the effects of his smoking to jaw clenching.
- Julia Child -- How was the oral health of one of America's greatest cooking legends? Our dentists would like to know, and maybe also swap recipes.
- Tiger Woods -- Some dentists admit they want the scoop on his "transgressions" firsthand. Others are just seeking a great golf partner. One wants to fix Tiger's "pesky" discolored tooth.
- Albert Einstein -- Access to one of the greatest minds ever would certainly make for great conversation.
- Jesus -- Self-explanatory!
- G.V. Black, known as the "Founding Father of Modern Dentistry" -- Quite unanimously, dentists agreed treating him would be an honor.
And the No. 1 patient dentists would like to see in their practice?
- George Washington -- Two words: wooden teeth.
